* Hum tum ek kamre mein band hoHormones are bound to rage when two teens, deeply attracted towards each other, find themselves alone in the house. The song captured the teen spirit superbly. The underlying sexuality of the song gets to you even after all those years.
* O hansiniThe film was based on Vishnuvardhan starrer hit Kannada movie Naagarahaavu. The movie may have been forgotten but this romantic number, shot on Rishi Kapoor and Moushumi Chatterjee remains one of the most romantic songs ever of Rishi Kapoor. It was reportedly shot at Chitradurga Fort in Karnataka.
* Tumko mere dil neThat’s the film which brought out the drag act in our films with panache. It had many melodious songs but this, which is laced with a tinge of agony, stands out. Shot on Neetu Singh and Rishi Kapoor in verdant locales, it has retained its freshness over time.
* Ek main aur ek tuA good plot, good performances and great music – this murder mystery romance had all the ingredients designed to give you an edge of the seat experience. The song involves young collegians Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh meeting in alone in the forest and giving way to their passion. It contains a certain innocence despite the raging chemistry.
* Khullam khulla pyar karenge hum donoCouples making out in the open while drunk! Khel Khel Mein was really way ahead of its time. It’s one of the most drunken declarations of love and one of the funniest too.
